• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I'm here a lot
In plain words,

A system using a combination of Motorola Type I and Type II systems.
This system requires a Fleet Map to be entered ,so that the system
will track properly.

Maybe someone else will elaborate further.

The three terms in the original post are all different ways to refer to the same thing. Also, I've seen them referred to as Type I/II.

Programming Hybrid IIi on BC246T

Jersey State Police use a Hybrid II system...I'm using the ARC246 software and there is no option for a Motorola Hybrid. Do you just set it up as a Type 1 and enter the Fleetmap? Radioreference lists NJSP as a Motorola Type II SmartZone. Thanks

I may have stumbled across the answer on another thread...Program with Fleetmaps. Anybody know why RR lists as a Type II SmartZone and everybody else has it as a hybrid.

Thanks again...

NJSP isn't a hybrid system anymore, it hasn't been for a while.
